Ingredients
- 150 grams Rolled oats
- 100 grams Mixed muesli (with nuts and dried fruit)
- 200 grams Dates (pitted and chopped finely)
- 125 grams Unsalted butter
- 75 grams Honey
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 50 grams Plain flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 20cm x 20cm (8-inch square) baking tin with parchment paper and set it aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, mixed muesli, plain flour, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the honey, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Pour the butter mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly to coat the oats and muesli evenly.
Step 5
Add the chopped dates to the mixture and fold them in evenly.
Step 6
In a separate small bowl, crack the egg and whisk it lightly. Add the whisked egg to the muesli mixture and ensure it is fully incorporated.
Step 7
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking tin and press it down firmly and evenly using the back of a spoon or a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and firm to the touch.
Step 9
Remove the tin from the oven and allow the slice to cool completely in the tin before transferring it to a cutting board.
Step 10
Using a sharp knife, cut the slice into 12 equal pieces. Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
